One hundred boats bearing one million desperate uninvited immigrants set sail from the Ganges (恒 河)for the fabled coast of the French Riviera. They are totally destitute and have decided that their only chance of survival is in a country with a conscience that traditionally welcomes refugees from the Third Word. Their journey will take 50 days.
In France,the news is trumpeted with pride by the liberal media,churchmen and left-wing activists. Favorable media echoes are heard all over Europe. Political leaders and the armed forces fumble for common policies. Publicly,French authorities praise the intrepid voyagers. Privately,they exchange ideas on how they can divert one million hungry souls to other shores.
A trendy French Radio journalist,Albert Dufort, sees the makings of a historical redistribution of wealth between the First and Third Worlds. "We’re all from the Ganges now. "he proclaims. Schoolchil-dren write essays eulogizing latter day"sans culottes". The theme is picked up and sweeps across the continent.
As the armada makes it through the Straits of Gibraltar, panic sets in. The inhabitants of the French Riviera begin to flee north. The president of France orders the armed forces deployed along the coast. They are told their mission is to defend the country against the now imminent invasion of one million poverty-stricken people from the Ganges. But with ears glued to their transistor radios,they heed Dufort’s call not to oppose the landings. They desert en masse. Police open jail cells before shedding their uniforms and hotfooting it home to take care of their families.
Terrified by what he has wrought, Dufort heads for Switzerland in his expensive sports car,but he js recognized en route and murdered. As hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of coastal towns and the surrounding Provence country move north,tens of thousands of revolutionary students travel south to greet their Ganges brothers.
Unbeknownst to the welcoming throngs of idealists,the Ganges multitudes are coming to settle scores with the wealthy West that has kept them subjugated without hope of a better life. They hate the West their leaders said had robbed them of the higher standard of living they are entitled to.
The one million Ganges folk are not alone. Millions of others are monitoring their progress from all over the Third World and plan to follow them to the promised Land. Thus the Third World conquers mod-em industrialized societies, but not before much mayhem and unspeakable carnage and atrocities.
What happened to the trendy French radio journalist,Albert Dufort,according to the passage?
选项
A、He was recognized as a famous reporter after the historical move of immigrants.
B、He was killed for some unknown reason
C、He believed that he was also an immigrant from India.
D、Tens of thousands of students travel south to greet him.
答案
B
解析
题目问:根据文章内容,在时髦的法国电台记者阿尔贝·杜福特身上,发生了什么事?第五段“Terrifiedby what he has wrought,Dufort heads for Switzerland in his expensive sports car,but he is recognizeden route and murdered.”通过这段话可知,由于极度害怕自己所造成的局面,杜夫特开着自己的豪华跑车逃到了瑞士,但是在路上他被认出来,被谋杀了。所以,答案是B。
